COLOUR: Medium gold; King Tut's death mask, after a quick polish for the press in 1922. LEGS: Very thick clothesline; big bulges formed and stayed on the line for ages; finally formed broken tears that fell very slowly (this all bodes well for a good mouthfeel). NOSE: Delicate-moderate (2/5); sweet corn, spicy rye & malty richness; caramel, honey & powdered candy; licorice; herbal & flowers. Quite pleasant and nothing off-putting. WITH WATER (5 drops into 10mL): same, but subdued. Score 7/10 TASTE: Rich, oily (4/5), thick & round; quite powerful and bitey (5/5); sweet corn, spicy rye & malty barley; vanilla, caramel, butterscotch & runny honey; orange(!) & sour citrus; licorice; very herbal; salt & pepper. Not too bad, but it does have a bit of young herbal acetone in the background. WITH WATER: not good -- sweet acetone dominates all else. Score 7/10 FINISH: Very short and unmemorable; a bit of everything (corn, rye, barley, wheat). WITH WATER: sweeter. Score 3/10 OVERALL: An interesting dram, due to the history of G&W, and the blend of four grains which all contribute to the whole without losing their individual character. Weighted Score 6.6/10 IMAGERY: Standing on the Canadian prairie and tasting everything that is growing in the field.
